Temporary accommodation

Types of temporary accommodation and who can apply for it. Myth busting. Paying for it.

What happens once you've applied

We’ll give you our decision in writing.

If you’re offered temporary accommodation, it may not be large enough to fit all your belongings in.  

You may need to arrange to store your things somewhere.

You cannot take pets into temporary accommodation except guide dogs. 

If a friend or family member cannot look after your dog, talk to us.

Depending on the property you’re offered, you’ll need to sign 1 of the following:

  • licence agreement
  • non-secure tenancy agreement
  • assured shorthold tenancy agreement
